Title:
  [needs-packaging] ac3JACK - audio streamer to SPDIF output using AC3
  on JACK audio

Status in Ubuntu Studio:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:

  Description:
   AC3Jack is a tool for creating an AC-3 (Dolby Digital) multichannel stream from its JACK input ports. Using this tool, an AC-3 stream (up to 5.1 channels) is created in real time and either written to a file or streamed to a SPDIF output.

  If the SPDIF port on your audio interface for connection to a
  multichannel surround receiver, you can achieve full 5.1 surround
  mixing and monitoring of your JACK applications with a single digital
  cable, and no need for hardware supporting discrete outputs and
  inputs.

  AC-3 is a compressed audio stream, so quality will suffer somewhat,
  but it is the price you pay for easy surround sound. The AC-3 encoder
  used here comes from the Aften project and although the sound quality
  seems good, I haven't seen any direct quality comparisons with
  commercial encoders.

  Now has a GUI for the main functions.
